Mr. Goldberg will be heaving a sigh of relief, when he reads Steven & Malcolm's remarks - 2 less to worry about when the year's up & we haven't improved!
the 1st obvious point about improvement is that you must study regularly!
I feel like giving up, too, sometimes, especially when I think that I ought to beat every1 after having studied chess for a while. The problem is that the opponents study it too & so it's difficult to notice any improvement.
You can compare it to learning your native english - At first you learn it at home for 4 - 6 years & you improve slowly. Then you go to school & you don't seem to improve at all for a year or two, even though you are now studying it at school as well as practising at home.
any1 play on the net? maybe we could swap notes on the good/bad points of various sites?
all the best, siegrun
